Bhairavakona attracts thousands of devotees during the Mahasivaratri festival. There is also a temple for Annapoorneshwari adjacent to the rock-cut temples, there are steps leading up to the shrine but we avoided going there for fear of monkeys who seemed to have a rocking party there !
After a snack of some crunchy, spicy masala vadas served hot in the lone shop there, we started back from Bhairavakona.
Bhairavakona is an ideal place for a day picnic, the forest is peaceful, the landscape very scenic dotted with hills, there is a waterfall to splash around for a bit and ancient temples to visit.
